Greta got an "early dismissal" tonight, coming home Saturday evening instead of her anticipated Sunday discharge. Hooray!
Big brother Gavin had a fantastic day with a small group of his friends at a local gymnasium to celebrate his coming birthday. He spent a lot of his day trying to understand that he's not 5 just yet...one of the pitfalls of an early birthday party!
Ho-Ho and Grandma Betz spent some quality time at the hospital with Greta, so that the rest of the Betzes could party like rock stars. Greta's appetite is much improved and she's getting her fight back after having her transfusion.
Doctors are still somewhat perplexed about what to do next. Still need lots of prayers for guidance and good decision-making, so please keep them coming!
Much love,
Kari
Merry Christmas 2011!
